About Knox Customization Configurator

Knox Customization Configurator is a web-based service that allows IT admins and System Integrators to deploy a specific group of settings or apps to enrolled devices. Customization Configurator offers powerful and granular device-configuration capabilities. You can use Customization Configurator to turn your Samsung phone or tablet into a point-of-sales terminal, survey response collector, digital signage, and more. Once devices have been enrolled into the system, Custom Configurator enforces your settings over-the-air, even after they have been factory reset.

If you’re looking to develop your own solution, use the Knox Customization SDK. It is an enhanced secure SDK that supports Professional Kiosk Mode and granular device configurations for Samsung Galaxy devices.

The following table lists the similarities and differences between the Knox Customization Configurator and the Knox Customization SDK:

How it works

Once you’ve registered your devices with the Customization Configurator, the device IDs (i.e. Serial Numbers/IMEIs) are tied to your enterprise. The Customization Configurator server deploys the profiles that you’ve made. These profiles include device settings, home screen configurations, and apps that you want to push.

Professional Kiosk Mode – Lock devices down to a single app or group of apps. Restrict device settings to create single-purpose phones or tablets such as point-of-sales terminals, survey collectors, digital signage, and more.

Rebranded software – Display your company’s marketing message on your phones and tablets. You can use customized booting splash screens and specify branded wallpaper to be used on each device.

UX improvements – A number of device configuration UI improvements have been introduced, including an enhanced dashboard and device submission progress bars.

Version 1.4

Support for Google Play apps – Add shortcuts to Google Play to create lists of apps that you want users to install. You can place all shortcuts as a single icon on the device screen. After the user installs these apps, you can also specify where the app icons will be located on the screen.

New configuration options for ProKiosk mode - Added more than 25 new configuration options for ProKiosk Mode. Some of these options include lock screen, booting/shutdown animation, and GPS/NFC settings.
